Keeping a job — or not
otkaz is notice: dati otkaz is to quit, dobiti otkaz is to be fired — one noun, two directions: Dala je otkaz i otišla u Irsku.
The conditions
radno vrijeme is working hours: Naše radno vrijeme je od osam do četiri. prekovremeno is overtime: Ovaj tjedan radim prekovremeno. stalan is permanent — stalni posao is the goal: Napokon ima stalan posao. Its opposite in practice is honoraran — freelance, paid per job: Honorarni posao ne daje sigurnost.
Time off and money
godišnji odmor is annual leave, in speech often just godišnji: U kolovozu idem na godišnji odmor. dopust is leave — porodiljni dopust is maternity leave: Kolegica je na porodiljnom dopustu.
zarađivati is to earn (the everyday imperfective): Koliko zarađuje konobar? What you receive — primiti: Primila je prvu plaću jučer.
Rights
imati pravo na + accusative is to be entitled to: Radnik ima pravo na plaćeni odmor.
